My interest is drawn to the fact that Mr. Howarth has been enlisted to use his Plangent Process. That process yields intriguing results.

Junior Mance with David Newman - Live at the Top of the Gate 1968

In celebration of his birthday, I have opened up Disc VII.

Bill Evans could not make a bad record. A couple of decades ago I reached a saturation point and decided to stop buying Bill Evans records. I still enjoy his music and welcome reissues of classic Evans like this but feel no need to upgrade.

Yes, it's a Cookers album, released in 2010, but it's a Harper composition.

Pretty pretty pretty baby wants to change her mind

He's an amazing artist!

That’s a Cookers date right ?

error

That is understandable. On the other hand, this is one of the most iconic bands in the history of jazz that only had the opportunity to make two studio albums. That is the primary source of the interest.

It definitively travels the spaceways.

I'd say those are here best 3 albums on Impulse! Plus of course the recent live record.

Immanuel Wilkins - Blues Blood [Blue Note, 2024] Such a great listen, I always thank @jazzbo as I listen to it for his championing of it. I was very lucky to see a truly marvellous concert by Ganavya this week. Wilkins guested on just two tunes but made a big impact.

LP3 and LP4 of this lovely set

I am very excited about the news and hope to visit as soon as it is ready, hopefully I can do so on a weekend. Sheet music will probably only be viewable onsite. There is also material at the Library of Congress which I made them bring in from copyright 30 years ago. I had sent Wayne copies of all of it, I wonder if what I sent him will wind up at NYPL! I am very curious about a number of unknown pieces, including Mass '65. One piece that was not at LC was his very first composition, La Vie Et La Mort, intended for two organs but eventually played on solo piano. I hope NYPL will have it. I attended the lecture where this blog post was presented. The presenter did not address where the material came from, but I suspect he thought the Library had somehow acquired it.

Credence Clearwater Revival - Willy & The Poor Boys What a great album. Reacquainted after about 30 years following listening to a radio interview with John Fogerty. I remember hearing CCR when I was about 15 and they (alongside Bob Seger) epitomised what this British suburbs boy thought America sounded like 😀 I soon learnt it sounded like a lot more too!
